You shovel Laura, how shocking I use sand and salt, it's kept out drive and pathway clear.

 

[sona1980]

[Jim]

LOL OK, no it's not as much fun.

Managing to stick to my 30 mins a day so far lol.

I used to be obsessive about exercise. 100 repetitions (each) of a wide variety of very taxing things, three or four times EVERY day. This would leave me tired and aching but boy was I toned!

I later realised that this was just a knock-on effect of my food obsession - a partial transference to one that involved exercise. These days I am for moderation.

Having said that an hour a day would suit me better! Again must watch out for my joints as they are not strong any more. Weight bearing exercise is just wearing them out faster.

As ever these days I seek a balance. When the weather clears I will be walking a lot more. I don't drive so I walk everywhere. It all helps.

In the past i have found that i throw myself in to exercise (very distant past) I kill it for an hour a day every day and then the novelty wears off quickly and i think of it more as a chore and then dont stick to it! So i am also going for moderation and trying to make it more fun rather than boring! Ive started watching a DVD half hour every time i do my stepper. Just watched legally blond 2 this week!

 

[girlygirl1]

I do that! Watch something interesting on tv whilst I jog in place or step. It helps to make the time fly.

 

[girlygirl1]

Or are we just addicted to tv and films? A question to be asked! LOL.

 

[sona1980]

well it helps pass the time!! im constantly looking at the clock so this reallly helps!! plus i have an hour slot to exercise then iv got the little one so hubby can go to the gym!! so this is not only exercise time.. its also ME time. so in ME time im gona watch a movie.. even if it takes 3 days to get through it!!

 

[girlygirl1]

Oh sure makes it more fun.

I did my very brisk 30 minutes. Knees feeling it now but I feel better for it.

 

[sona1980]
